Map Changes

  • Cyclopean:
    • Adjusted displacements around NW

      • This makes it slightly easier to get up on the hill in the southeastern corner of NW
    • Adjusted displacements in city
      • This prevents climbing an unintuitively climbable area in the southeastern corner
    • Fixed skybox fog density
      • It's no longer a wall of grey until you get very close to a map border
    • Fixed displacement sticking through terrain in BE main
      • Kudos to anyone else who noticed that one
    • Fixed displacements sticking through terrain in NF main
    • Fixed an exploit where you could climb a hill into the NF main
    • Fixed (some) textures being needlessly rendered in northwest
      • If you find any others, post on the forums and they will be fixed
    • Adjusted displacements around the southern bridge to prevent seeing under the map
    • New 2D skybox
    • New lighting
      • Please report any lighting issues you notice
